Deuteronomy 16:2–8

²Sacrifice as the Passover to the Lord your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose as a dwelling for his Name.^{w 3}Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction,^x because you left Egypt in haste^y—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.^{z 4}Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening^a of the first day remain until morning.^b

⁵You must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the Lord your God gives you ⁶except in the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening, when the sun goes down, on the anniversary^ac of your departure from Egypt. ⁷Roast^d it and eat it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents. ⁸For six days eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly^e to the Lord your God and do no work.^f
